Murray Into Shanghai Semis

Fri, 12 October 2012 1:51PM

Andy Murray was given a tough time by Radek Stepanek as he came through his quarter final at the Shanghai Masters.

Murray dropped the first set 4-6, before recovering to take the remaining sets 6-2, 6-3.

The world number three, who is trying to win this title for the third year in a row, has also kept alive his outside hopes of topping the rankings by the end of the year.

At the Japan Open, Britain's Heather Watson made it through semi-finals after victory against Pauline Parmentier, but Laura Robson's run in Osaka was ended by Chang Kai-Chen.
